Question

Fraction : Mary bought 3 3/4 m of lace. She used 1 1/6 m of lace for her new dress. How much lace is left with her? I need statements

Answer 1

2 7/12.

Explanation:

Subtracting:

3 3/4 - 1 1/6

Bring together the whole numbers and the fractions:

= 3 - 1 + 3/4 - 1/6 The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12 so we have:

3 - 1 + 9/12 - 2/12

= 2 + 7/12

= 2 7/12.
